얕은 기초의 침하는 기초에 가해지는 상재 하중의 지반에 전달될 때 분포되는 응력의 특성과 크기에 관련되어 일어난다. 일반적으로 지반의 보강재로 사용되는 지오그리드로 두께가 작은 토체를 보강하면 지중에 전달되는 응력을 재분포시켜 감소시킨다. 이 논문에서는 현장시험을 통하여 여러 층의 지오그리드로 토체를 보강시 토체 상부에 가해지는 원형 등분포 하중하에서 토체의 응력 분포를 측정하였다. 인천국제 공항 건설 현장의 준설 매립 구간에서 행하여진 이 시험을 통하여, 지오그리드로 보강된 토체의 하중 분포는 기초에 가해지는 하중 강도와, 보강재 포설층수, 토체의 두께의 함수로 나타낼 수 있다.

For the interests in the economical and safe design of foundation system, the concern on the piled raft or disconnected piled raft foundation system is increasing now. In this study, the behavior and the effects of the disconnected piled raft foundation not studied actively in this country were examined using the triaxial compression tests in place of laboratory model tests. The triaxial test samples were prepared with Jumunjin standard sand and the carbon rods, which simulate the ground soil and piles respectively. After the sample in which carbon rods were arranged was laid inside the triaxial chamber, the confining pressure was applied and then loading test was conducted. To analyze the reinforcing effects of the disconnected piled raft foundation, a few number of tests were carried out by changing the number, the diameter and the length of the model piles. As a result of this study, in the disconnected piled raft foundation system, even though the number of pile is few and the diameter of pile is small, the settlement of the foundation system decreased greatly.

To find out the most efficient arrangement of root piles reinforcing sandy soil under a strip footing, a series of model tests for the patten A of by R.H. Bassett and N.C. Last are carried out. In the model test, the variables adopted are a pile length, longitudinal spacing, and the number of rows of piles. According to the results, the most efficient longitudinal spacing of piles is six times of a pile diameter. When the pile length exceeds five times of footing width, no further increase of reinforcing effect is observed. In the pattern A, piles of second row exhibit the largest reinforcing effect and the fifth row show no significant reinforcing effect on the soil.

The typical bonding methods which connect steel pipe pile and spread footing is bolted bonding method using +type cover plate for reinforcing a head of steel pipe pile. In this paper, stability of spread footing in pile foundation have been evaluated by loading test of +type cover plate for reinforcing a head of pile and hook type bonding method. The presents results from a series of pilot model test on vertically loaded piles foundation of bolted bonding method and hook type bonding method, pile foundation is identified to safety due to pile foundation exceed 8.5~21% which more than yield stress of steel pipe pile. As the results of horizontal loading tests, peak load of piles foundation of hook type bonding method has estimated in 41.1tonf and it was exceed about 33% which more than pile foundation of bolted bonding method.

In this paper, the RC column-based joint connection part carry out loading test by reinforced hollow or extended Base Plate in order to confirm that RC joint punching shear reinforcement effect of applying the Base Plate. Base Plate thickness, extension length, size, and type as the variable, Base Plate suitable for the stress distribution and shape and dimensions confirmed through experiment and then reinforcing effect was analyzed. Experimentally, vertical load transmitted to the Base Plate from column to foundation is effective to stress distribution and then, type of hollow reinforcement more efficient than a closed. Through experiment, improve performance and ductility due to reinforcement and relative to the thickness of the existing foundation reduced even showed better performance than the existing. The behavior of the reinforced specimens be able to induce from brittle to ductile. Experiment on loading to destroy performed the pattern of cracks, destruction aspect before and after reinforcement.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the normalized behaviors of existing bridge foundations reinforced by micropiles. In order to do numerical method a finite element program was used to predict the micropile behavior and quantify their reinforcing effects on existing bridge foundations. In addition, the installation effects of battered micropiles on existing foundations were compared with vertically reinforced bridge foundations. Based on the study performed, it was found that the use of battered micropiles more efficiently reduces displacement of existing foundations than vertically installed micropiles under vertical and horizontal loadings, respectively. The batter angle of micropiles was also found to be most effective at about $15^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}$ in reducing the vertical displacement. The horizontal reinforcing effect continues to be larger with an increase in batter angles. So, it is believed that the results presented could give an idea to enhance In-service performance of existing bridge foundations reinforced by micropiles.

최근 건설공사에서 많은 물량이 투입되는 기초구조의 자재비 및 원가절감을 위해 여러 가지 기초구조시스템이 개발되고 있으나, 보편적으로 현장에 적용하기에는 다소 무리가 있는 것으로 지적받고 있다. 본 연구는 강판을 ㄷ자형으로 절곡한 기초전단보강시스템을 개발하기 위한 해석적 연구의 일환으로 진행되었다. 현행 전단머리 보강식에서는 기초판에 대한 전단내력 산정을 위한 기준식이 마련되어 있지 않으며 플랫플레이트 슬래브의 기준식에 따르도록 되어져있다. 그러나 기초판은 지반에 지지되는 구조물로 플랫플레이트 슬래브와는 경계조건이 다르다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지반에 지지된 경우와 플랫플레이트 슬래브와 같이 모멘트 제로지점을 단순지지한 형태로 기초구조물을 모델링하여 해석을 실시하였다. 해석프로그램은 유한 요소기법이 적용된 ABAQUS를 사용하여 두 지지조건의 차이가 구조물에 미치는 영향을 비교분석하였다.

In this study, a numerical analysis using a three-dimensional numerical simulation was performed to assess the applicability of foundation reinforcing method using load transfer apparatus which can be used in the remodeling of deteriorated structures. The numerical model was validated through comparison with the real scale experimental results, and then a parametric study was performed to investigate the effect of friction coefficient of load transfer apparatus and axial stiffness of pile on the performance of foundation reinforcing method. It was confirmed that the foundation reinforcing method considered in this study can efficiently control the load applied to an existing foundation.

This paper presents a new method to improve the bearing capacity of a square shallow foundation placed on a sand layer reinforced with geogrids which shows promise for further field work. The geogrid reinforcement will be necessary in the case of machine foundation, embankments for railroads, and foundations of structures in earthquake-prone areas. The ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) for the unreinforced sand and reinforced sand has been compared. Also, the effect of length, spacing, width of reinforcement on increasing the UBC have been evaluated. Based on the present model test results, it appears that significant improvement in the UBC of medium sand can be achieved by geogrid reinforcement.

Micropiles are small, cast-in-place piles with a diameter of 300 mm or less, primarily used to reinforce existing structures and support new constructions. As the application of these piles has expanded, extensive research has been conducted on their bearing characteristics, particularly in micropiled rafts. These studies have consistently demonstrated the positive impact of micropiles on foundation reinforcement. However, previous research often overlooked the potential variations in behavior between micropiled and conventional piled rafts based on different pile conditions. Furthermore, the influence of the cohesive characteristics of the soil layer beneath the foundation on the reinforcing effect of the micropiles has not been adequately addressed. This study, therefore, undertook 3D numerical analysis to assess the reinforcing effect of micropiles, considering both pile conditions and the cohesive characteristics of the soil layer beneath the foundation. The findings revealed that micropiles are significantly more effective in non-cohesive soil layers compared to cohesive ones, with the potential to increase the bearing capacity of the raft by up to 3.7 times.
